Dental Implant Cost at Dental Implants & Aesthetics
During your first consultation appointment, your dentist will take a number of digital images and analyse your situation. Depending on the thickness of your jaw bone, you may need a bone graft and provisionalization before proceeding with your dental implant treatment.
At the end of the consultation, you will get a detailed quote from our team for your case. In general, the price for a finished dental implant including a dental crown restoration at our practice starts from $5,500.
Dental Implant Cost in Australia
The average cost of dental implants, which includes the placement of a dental fixture (implant) is around $2,000-$3,000. This figure is for the surgical treatment only.
Following the healing period, usually 3-6 months, an abutment and a crown are placed and attached to the fixture. This process, which involves several visits, will usually cost around $3,500. This brings the average total cost per tooth to around $5,500-$6,500.
Dental implant prices will vary according to the need for bone grafting and provisionalization (this should be very clearly explained in your consultation with your dentist).
Health Fund Cover for Dental Implant Costs
Dental implants, veneers, dental crowns, and bridges are usually covered under the major dental category of private health funds. Once you receive the detailed quote from our team including item numbers, you will be able to check with your health fund how much you can claim with your policy and how much you will have to contribute to cover the cost of the treatment.
Payment Plans for Dental Implants
At Dental Implants and Aesthetics, we offer three different interest-free payment plan options. Two options are provided by Zip including Zip Pay and Zip Money. Another option for treatments below $9,000 is Afterpay.

“Cheap” Dental Implants
There has been a growing trend of Australians flying overseas for more complex dental procedures. However, the outcome can
be a hit or miss. This may result in a disappointing outcome, ongoing pain and, in the worst case, another treatment in Australia to fix the underlying issues.
In Australia, dental care is highly regulated which leads to a high quality of care. Patients are not only protected by state but also by federal laws and can rely on strict procedures in case that something goes wrong with their treatment.
At Dental Implants and Aesthetics, we use implant components from different well-established companies including Southern Implants Australia and Nobel Biocare Australia. We established our own dental laboratory which we use to manufacture the restorations. This means, all restorations we use are Australian-made and tailored to suit our patients’ needs.
A dental visit overseas may not fulfill these high standards of care. In addition, our practice values after-care and follow-up appointments because our team always tries to achieve long-lasting results for our patients.
We offer a warranty of 10 years on all our dental implants. To make use of this warranty, it is important that you attend your regular routine check-ups and follow the aftercare and maintenance advice you will receive from our team after your treatment.
